I don't care if it's not true...the one that convinces me that you deserve the XBox will be the one that gets it. Tell me about what you went through to get one but got snubbed. Tell me what you would be willing to do for one (painting your car with my company info)...I want originality and I want it to be good.
Best of luck and may the best man/woman win! Consider this a Christmas gift from me.  |
I was a fucking hero at Halo2 online. I'd lead my team to victory almost every game. What I lacked in sniping skills I made up for with strategic victories, well placed grenades and the occassional bitchslap to the face.
As the new update came out, and I was mastering the new maps - my xbox began to fizzle out. I would play one game, and then it would give me an error. This became increasingly worse; and got to the point where I had to blow on the damn thing like it was a Nintendo box.
Any attempts to get Microsoft to replace or repair it were met with maniacal laughs at the desperation in my voice. Appearantly, my Xbox suffered from the
Thompson Drive effect. I was addicted, I had already accepted that; but I never foresaw the effects of the withdrawls.
Late at night while we were all soundly asleep, my cat jumps three feet in the air, while my girlfriend shrieks when out of nowhere I yell
""FRAG!" in my sleep. I then proceed to the living room where I cradle my controller and rock back and forth. Any attempts to rouse me are met with a blank stare and these cryptic words are whispered:
"I've got the bomb, tell me when you're ready to move".
It has wreaked havok on us all. My cat hasn't bathed herself in months, and my girlfriend has made me sleep on the couch.
Microsoft doesn't care, but soon those covenant will overrun us all. I can't let my team down, I can't let
Earth down...
More importantly, it's gotten so bad that it won't even play DVD's anymore - NEW ones!
In all seriousness - Xbox360 would be great to have, and a great stress reliever. I would typically wait about 2 years before buying it used after all the hype is over with like I do with everything else - but I can't justify buying a replacement Xbox when there's an upgrade (not to mention the money factor, of course).
Anyway, hope my story was mildly entertaining at the very least.
Good luck to everyone!
